No one expects the Spanish Inquisition to hawk a local discount warehouse store! This one was about as crazy as the Bud’s Warehouse Outlet spots got; I honestly don’t remember if there was some discussion about reining in the craziness, but everything after this seemed much more subdued.




Another funny Bud’s spot, I think this one caused a little bit of confusion – apparently they thought they were going to be getting “Robin Leach” every time. It’s all worth it just to hear about the huuuuuge savings, though. After this, I think everyone involved “got it” even more. The one thing I hadn’t really considered going into this was just how many character/celebrity voices I could actually do.




In late ’92/early ’93, we had a sales account rep arrive at KLSZ who finally “got” that you could do funny spots and still sell product. She landed an account with Bud’s Warehouse Outlet, sort of a bargain-basement Sam’s located very close to the station itself, and they wanted a weekly update to their spot – and they wanted it to be funny. For the first time in ages, I found myself reaching into my bag of character voices and cheesy impersonations, and it kinda clicked.
